The Voice of Christ

And it came to pass that there was a voice heard among all the inhabitants of the earth, upon all the face of this land, crying:

• Wo unto this people
• Zarahemla, Moroni, and Moronihah destroyed
• Onihah, Mocum, and Jerusalem sunk
• Gadiandi, Gadiomnah, Jacob, and Gimgimno buried
• Jacobugath burned
• Laman, Josh, Gad, and Kishkumen burned
• Wickedness destroyed
• Abomination causes destruction
• The righteous are spared
• Come unto Christ for eternal life
• “I am Jesus Christ”
• Become sons of God
• The end of blood sacrifices
• Offer a broken heart
• Come as a little child

And now behold, it came to pass that all the people of the land did hear these sayings, and did witness of it. And after these sayings there was silence in the land for the space of many hours; For so great was the astonishment of the people that they did cease lamenting and howling for the loss of their kindred which had been slain; therefore there was silence in all the land for the space of many hours.

And it came to pass that there came a voice again unto the people, and all the people did hear, and did witness of it, saying:

• Gathered as chickens
• Rejection of Christ
• Repent and return
• Fulfilling the covenant

And now it came to pass that after the people had heard these words, behold, they began to weep and howl again because of the loss of their kindred and friends.

And it came to pass that thus did the three days pass away. And it was in the morning, and the darkness dispersed from off the face of the land, and the earth did cease to tremble, and the rocks did cease to rend, and the dreadful groanings did cease, and all the tumultuous noises did pass away.

And the earth did cleave together again, that it stood; and the mourning, and the weeping, and the wailing of the people who were spared alive did cease; and their mourning was turned into joy, and their lamentations into the praise and thanksgiving unto the Lord Jesus Christ, their Redeemer.

And thus far were the scriptures fulfilled which had been spoken by the prophets. And it was the more righteous part of the people who were saved, and it was they who received the prophets and stoned them not; and it was they who had not shed the blood of the saints, who were spared—And they were spared and were not sunk and buried up in the earth; and they were not drowned in the depths of the sea; and they were not burned by fire, neither were they fallen upon and crushed to death; and they were not carried away in the whirlwind; neither were they overpowered by the vapor of smoke and of darkness.
